The setup is four horseshoes and two stakes pitched 40 feet apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder of play is settled by a toss-off — one shoe from each side, closest to the stake throws first. The winning side pitches both of its shoes, then the other side follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScoring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo systems are common. Under cancellation, each side's round total is compared and only the difference goes to the higher scorer. Under count-all, every point stands.
